HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rolled Tongue.-Whilea boiled tongue is
still warm roll it with the tip inside and
place in a round tin or vessel Just large
enough to hold it in place; let il remain over
night, when IL will remain rolled after being
removed from the pan. Serve il whole on a
bed of salad, water crosses or parsley.
To Devil Turkey-Mix little salt, black
pepper and cayenne, and sprinkle over the
pizzard, rump and drumstick of a dress
turkey; brOil them and serve very hot wi n
this sauce: Mix with some of the gravy oat
Of the dish little made mustard, some but
ter and -four, spoonful of lemon juice and
the same Of soy; boil up the whole.
A Mixture to Erase Grease Spots-Equal
parts of strong ammonia water, ether and
alcohol form a valuable cleaning compound.
Pass q piece of blOtting.paper under the
grease spot, moisten q sponge, first with
water, to render it greedy" then with the
mixture, and rub with 1t the spot. In a
moment it will be dissolved, saponifed and
absorbed by the sponge and blotler.
Sugar Candy.--Two pounds brown sugar,
quarter of a pound of butter, half teacupful
water. Boil for half an hour, then try a
little in saucer, and if it hardens pour the
candy very thinly on warm buttered plates,
and put it in cold place-on snow or ice If
kernels, as many as the candy will hold,
greatly improve 1t. Grated cocoanut may
be used instead.
For sandwiches-Take equal quantities Of
the breast of cold chicken and cold boiled
tongue; chop them fine-so fine, in fact, that
you can not distinguish the separate par
teles; add good large half tesspoonful of
celery salt, pinch of cayenne pepper, and
four tablespooufuls of mayonese dressing.
This amount will be enough TO season the
breast of one large chicken and an equal
quantity of tongue. When this is cold spread
some thin slices Of bread with butter and
then with this mixture.
Rich ee-Cake.-Two cups butter, three
Of sugar, one of mOlasses, one Of very strong
coffee, one of cream or rich milk, the yelks
OF eight eggs, one pound each of raisins and
currants, ODe-half pound citrOn, the same of
figs, and five cups of brown flour after it is
stirred. Put the flour in the oven until q
rich brown, being careful not to burn it.
When cold sift with it three tablespOonfuls
Of good baking powder and little salt. Cut
The figs in long strips, dredge all the fruit
with flour, beat the cake well up, and bake
in moderate oven from four TO five hours.

upon clay soils, which it lghtens and re-
lieves of that sticky, tenacious quality
which prevents such soils from absorbing
manure as generally applied.
A mixture of several kinds of grain for
feeding stock is always better than one kind
alone. Variety in grain is as important as
variety in bulky food.
A stock-breeder says: For scurvy or itch
in calves, mix spirits turpentine, sulphur
and hnseed-oil, and apply twice week. 1t
serves for any other animal, and for the
scaly-leg in the Asiatic strains of poultry.
When the supply of hay is greatly short
ened by drought extending over a wide area,
cattle are sure to be cheap in autumn, be-
cause the winter keeping must be costly. If
they are to be sold the best way is 10 work
them off early, unless additional feeding can
be cheaply bought.
In selecting SOW for breeding, choose one
that is quiet and mild in disposition. She
may be the one that will lay on fat most
easily, and it will, therefore, be necessary to
feed sparingly but she will be all the better
as breeder for this.
Corn-cobs charred until they become brit
tie, and then extinguished With salt water,
are good to throw to the pigs from time to
time. They will eat them readily, and the
dose corrects acidity of the stomach, i'm
parts appetite, and promotes health.

Breaking BaIkY Horses.

\ correspondent of the Allentown pa
News, ID. N. Kern, of Shimersville, writes
Some time ago, while driving through Lehigh
County, l met man who had very balky
horse. have been so lucky that ! have
never had a balky horse, but If had one /
would know half dozen ways how to start
him,
/. Pat the horse on the neck, examine
him carefully, first one side, then the other:
if you can get a handful of grass give it to
him, and speak encouragingly to him. Then
jump into the wagon and give the word go
and be will generally obey.
2. Taking the horse out of the shafts
and turning him around in a circle until he
is giddy will generally start him.
B. Another way to cure a balky horse
is, place your hand over his nose and shut of
his wind until he wants to 60.
i. Then, again, take a couple OF turns
OF stout Irvine around the fore legs just
below the knee, tighG enough for the horse
to feel it; tie in bow knot; at the first click
he will probably 60 dancing Off After go
ing a short distance you can get out and re.
move the string, to prevent injury to the
tendons.
5. Again. you can try the following:
Take the tail of the horse between the hind
legs, and tie it by cord to the saddle-girth.
6. The last remedy I know is as follows
Tie string around the horses ear. close to
the head; this will divert his attention and
start him.

CnItiva1inr Wheat.

a correspondent of the Indiana Farmer
gives the result of experiments in a plat of
wheat-twO fifths of an acre-sowed as usual,
but the space between the rows sixteen
inches apart, which will be interesting as to
the essential points, which are as follows:
The soil was high sand prairie, facing to the
northwest. The winter winds nearly blew it
all out of the ground, and when spring
opened it was in sorry plight When the
blades we're about four inches long it was
cultivated with a hoe; then again when it
was about knee high. 1t was harvested with
a cradle, and made twenty-five shocks of a
dozen bundles each. Before it was threshed
the English sparrow took the cap sheaves
entire.
The wheat was weighed, and, after adding
for cap sheaves, there was ten bushels. This
is at the rate of twenty-five bushels per acre.
Nota very large yield, says the cultivstor,
but almost unprecedented for the quality of
the soil. There were no fertilizers used. 4
heavy crop OF potatoes Was taken from the
plat just before the wheat was sown. The
product was thought 10 have been doubled
by the cultivation, the saving in the seed
much more than paying for the cultivation.
A horse can walk in a space of sixteen
inches, and bull-tongue will give much
better cultivation than the hoe, which was
the writer's shift for the small area expert
mented on.

The Flight of Phelps.

DECATUR, Dec. 31.-The flight Of J.. d.
Phelps and his revelation of the gambling
jsints has created CONSERVATION among our
sporting men. According to Phelps there
are three OF them IN the city.
The amount of the embezzlement
is yet unknown. It is variously estimated
from $3.50 to 81, 600. Phelps said he had
made private record of all of his crooked
ness, but as yet ii has not been found. Those
in position TO know claim that the
woman in the case is of the blackmail
order; that another party fed before Phelps
left, and still others are in the sweat
box. The companies for which Phelps was
agent are the Phoenix, of Brooklyn; the Con-
tinentsl. of New York; the Springfield, of
Springfield, Mass, and the Charlottesville
Live Stock Company, of Charlottesville, Ind.

Training "Trlekn Horses.

People who go to circuses and see horses,
ELEPHANTS monkeysssnd the like perform
wonderful tricks must often ask themselves
howthe animals are taught to do them. a
writer in the Matin, having interviewed
several circus celebrities undertakes 10 sat
isfy their curiosity. NJ. Loyal, who has been
riBg-master of the leading Paris circus for
thirty-two years, supplies interesting IL
formation concerning horses. The horse"
be. says. contrary to general belief, is the
most stupid animation earth. He has only
one faculty-memOTy. You must teach him
his exercises with the cavesson and the long
whip. Having forced them into his head,
you must use the short whip when he re-
sists and give him carrot when be obeys.
Whips and carrots form the secret of the
trainer. The horse must be from five to
seven years old; before that age be is too
spirited; after il his muscles are not elastic
enough. The first thing to do is to ac-
make him run round regularly,
and then to stop at a given
signal. To accomplish this the animal
is brought into the ring. The trainer holds
in his left hand tether, which is passed into
the cavesson, kind of iron crescent armed
with sharp points fixed on the nose of the
horse; in his right hand he holds the long
whip. Behind the animal an assistant, with
a stout, short whip is posted The trainer
calls on the horse 70 start, and, pulling his
tether and smackiDg his long whip, forces
him to gallop round. If he refuses the as
sistant uses his whip, also; If he is obediant
he Is rewarded with q carrot. To make him
stop short the trainer cracks his long whip
again, while the assistant with his short
whip throws himself suddenly in front Of
the animal, and the result is obtained" NJ
Loyal tells us that ''the horse has q great
objection 10 kneeling or lying down at any
moment. This feat is taught By means Of
IRON bracelets placed on his ankles and at
tached to tether held by the trainer, who
by sudden jerks or pulls as he is moving
makes him fall or kneel. The animal re-
members the lessons and, by dint of whip
and carrot, ultimately performs them at
the mere command Of the trainer. The
horse is taught to dance to music
in the same way with the foot
bracelets" as regards the learned horse
who opens boxes and takes articles out of
them, here is how the animal Is trained to
do Il: II first get carrot, says NJ. Loyal.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The famous SouthdOwns were not once the
desirable mutton sheep they now are, but
were built up from an inferior or ordinary
stock.
Make friends with your horses. They viii
enjoy your sociability as well as you will.
Sensible horses like to be talked to by sensi-
BILE men,
Pregnant ewes should be carefully watched
and attended to during the winter months, il
a good, pro Stable crop of lambs is expected.
Otherwise large percentage of the lambs is
lost, the ewes grow weakly, and profits are
gone.
The Farm Journal humorously observes
that If the craze for h0rnless cattle becomes
universal the average COW doctor, who
knows but two diseases, 'hoIlow horn" and
"wolf in the tail" win find half his occupa-
ton gone. He will have TO confne bis prac-
tice exclusively to the tail.

Influence OF Soil on Stock.
Correspondent London Journal.

The article the other week on theological
Aspects of Stock Raising" opens up sab
lect of deep interest that only rarely receives
the attention which il merits With several
of the writer's conclusions / agree, but
think he hss scarcely appreciated the differ
ence as regards susceptibility to the inhu-
ences Of soil displayed by sheep and cattle
respectively. He states that if few sheep
of the same breed were % be turned on every

from experience that in few years they
would become 50 much altered in appear

Nov, although the adspt3bility OF the
ShrOpshires, for example, to the varied soils
Of Scotland and Ireland seems somewhat to
modify this theory, yet / agree with Pro-
fessOr Darwin, that ''sheep are, perhaps,
more readily affected by the direct action of
the conditions of life to which they have
been exposed than almost any other do
nestle animal"
But your correspondent goes further, and
says the same effects are apparent in cattle
and horses, it being suggested that the ami
mails are in reality what the soil has made
them, mans power going no further than TO
somewhat alter the color. This think. is
an exaggerated view. Take the shorthorns,
for instance. Doubtless they originated in
all over the United Kingdom, and il would
be difficult to point out any material differ
ence, except such as may be produced by
management, between those that have re-
NAMED in their native region and those that
have Toamed over Scotland and Ireland.

found in Northumberland, Yorkshire, Bed

First Case of PIeuro-Pneuuon,a.

The first case of pleuro-pneumonis was
imported into America in 1913. That primal
cause of all this kline misery was an English
COW landed at New York harbor and stabbed
hard by South ferry. From there the dis
ease spread eastward to the stables of Brook
Ign, Jamaica, Roslyn, Cutchogue and other
places along Long Island Sound; also to the
stables in New Jersey, and north ward
into Winchester County. For more than
forty years there have been infected "herds"
in the near vicinity of New York City. a
few years ago the disease penetrated Massa-
chusetts, andit took that State about six years
to stamp it out, at the expense of zoe cat
tie, The herds of cattle supposed to be In
fe0ted with pleuro-pneumonis confined in the
Chicago distillery stables are still under
quar- antine, and are being slowly killed of
as some way of d1sposing of the csrcssses
develops itself. The health authorities have
forbidden that the milk shall be sold, and
the owners are perplexed to know what to do
with the stock they can neither move nor use.
1t is thought there is little danger of the dis
ease spreading to other herds in the face
of the precautions used.

Moses Was a Gentleman.

Some amusing stories are told of
the wit and wisdom of London
school children. A class of boys in
boarding-school was being exam
ined orally in Scripture. The his
tory of Moses had for some time
been special study, and one of the
examiners asked:
"What would you say of the gen
eral character of Moses?"
s'He was meek" said one boy.
Brave" said another.
Learned" added a third boy.
"Please, SIR" piped a pale-faced,
neatly-dressed lad, ''he was a gen
tleman."
GA gentleman" asked the ex-
aminer; elbow do you make that
out?''
The boy promptly replied in the
same thin, nervous voice: "Please,
sir, when the daughters of Jethro
went to the well to draw water, the
shepherds came and drove them
away; and Moses helped the daugh-
tiers of Jethro, and said to the shep-
herds: Ladies first, please, gentle
men,"

furnished by this Society.
1-IT Is THE STRONGEST COMPANY: holding a
larger cash Surplus than any other assurance
organization in the World (Surplus, per
cent. basis, Sixteen and half millions.)
2-IT Is THE LARGEST COMPANY: having the
greatest volume of Outstanding Assurance.
(FOur Hundred and Thirty Millions.)
3-IT Is THE MOST POPULAR COMPANY: having
for years transacted the largest annual bust
ness.
On 1885, One Hundred and Eleven Millions.)
4-IT ISSUES THE SAFEST Policies: which be-
comes absolutely incOntestabe and cannot,
then, like the policies of many companies. be
contested, or compromised for part of its face
value.
Sir is OF ALL COMPANIES THE MosT PROMPT. As
soon as a policy becomes incontestable it is
payable. not after the usual delay of 90 days,
but Immediately upon the receipt of Proofs
of Death" of the death claims paid by the
Society in 1886, more than 0Re-hdLf of the total
amount was settled on tie gerry day proofs
were received; and the balance, with the ex-
ception of few scattering cases, within the
first sixty days.
Such q record Is unparalleled.
6-IT is THE MosT PROGRESSIVE COMPANY: hay
ing been the pioneer in all the reforms which
have made American life assurance famous
